Me three. It depends on your need or desire to keep the car period correct,
but if you can modernize select components of your drivetrain you can improve
its reliability tremendously without breaking the bank.
Tops on the list of electrical hooey:
1. Points => Pertronix module (make sure you check the distributor bushings
and vacuum/mechanical advance mechanisms at the same time)
2. Starter => high torque ministarter. Many brands, either domestic or
imported. Just a late model 79-93 Mustang will help if you're really budget
conscious.
3. Generator => internally regulated alternator. This one requires a bit of
change to the wiring especially if you're using an ammeter but it's
worthwhile. It's also the most visible change. One option is to use that
alternator-in-a-generator-case but it's expensive.
In all cases, rebuild and shelve the original bits because you never know when
it has to go back to bone stock.
Cheers,
Theo
